well, it still is incorrect coding. there is no defined meaning for
deleting the callback before you have stopped the watcher. why did you
even try that? it makes no sense.
it happens to be a bug in the event.pm module in that it shouldn't do a
callback through a null pointer. making the watcher shut down if the
callback is deleted is a different and not as good a solution.
